One of my favorite shows right now, I can't always relate to it, but it makes me cringe. I feel bad for her, i really hope she can overcome her shyness one day and become popular! I love this show so much!

Watamote has a great main character, however I'm tired of the repetitive joke, that is, the constant "I'm a loser, but I'm delusional so I'm going to blame other people" joke. It got boring and tiring after a few episodes.

Other than that, there are some subtle parodies to other animes like Chihayafuru and also literature like "Grapes of Wrath" being turned into "Oranges of Wrath".

After watching 6 episodes, there needs to be a change of jokes and more development for the protagonist.
We get that she's a loser and that she's not the brightest crayon in the box, I want to see other aspects of her.

This Anime is beautiful yet so hard to watch without wanting to jump through your computer screen and give Tomoko a hug. This poor girl can not catch a break and is so socially inept that every time she tries something it never had a chance of succeeding in the first place.

The hype that surrounded this show was insane, when a PV was released people were going nuts that this is going to be the new comic great to stand among Azumanga Daioh, and then the show came, and it was meh.

There are a couple of problems with this show.

The main character shifts from being funnily awkward to straight out uncomfortable to watch. I often am not laughing at the show but rather feeling bad for her. Her crying to her brother is a good example of this, it started out funny enough, got a couple of giggles, then she actually sounded like she was insanely sad, prompting me being very uncomfortable, and then not wanting to watch the scene anymore.

The jokes get stale very quickly. We get it, she's not popular, and she thinks that's because society is keeping her down, but deep down she knows she's ugly and socially awkward. This is a good premise to base a show off of, however once you've gone over the ugly joke once or twice, and the socially awkward joke a few times, it gets pretty stale. I find myself thinking, "this would be funny, if I hadn't heard it a million times by now." The same setup is used joke after joke after joke, until it's just not funny, it's just me cringing at the idea of the joke. Both for the writer and the character.

There is no plot line. There is no consistent plot line this show adheres to, now this is a flaw because I do not consider this show a slice of life anime. Slice of life by definition does not have a consistent theme or goal, and in this case there is one, becoming popular, so why does this show start off strong with an extremely good premise, continue forward with some really upstanding jokes, then just fall into mediocrity, into the mundane.

This is a lazy excuse for a comedy anime, but this is going to be lost among the million reviews saying OMG TOMOKO KAWAII 5 STAR XDDDD so it doesn't even matter.

This anime is just great. It has a very episodic feel and at first I was kind of skeptical. However I was wrong. This anime is amazing. It is very funny and at times even had me stopping the show to prepare myself for the funny and embarassing moment that was about to take place. It has a very indivual feel and does not feel like you have seen this type of anime a thousand times. Give it a try!

At first this is a funny, quirky show that is almost reminiscent of SNAFU. But despite it's jokes and enjoyably storyline, this show is missing the one thing that every good anime needs: plot development! Let me explain the plot first.

At first this is a funny, quirky show that is almost reminiscent of SNAFU. But despite it's jokes and enjoyably storyline, this show is missing the one thing that every good anime needs: plot development! Let me explain the plot first. The main character, a teenage girl named Tomoko, has just entered high school and is confident that because of this she will inevitably become popular. When this doesn't happen, Tomoko decides to find out what popular girls have that she doesn't. The range of things she has tried so far (because the show hasn't ended yet) includes going out to places after school, buying cute panties, trying to have sexual dreams, keeping an expressionless look on her face, playing romance games to get her hormones flowing, and other ridiculous things. Eventually the jokes are repeated so often that they become unfunny, but I tolerated it because I was certain that the show was going to get serious eventually. With it being over halfway through, however, my expectations have disappeared. Every single episode has Tomoko trying some new method in the hopes of becoming popular and instead just embarrassing herself. At times Tomoko gives up trying and just becomes desperate for attention. It's so bad now that I have a hard time watching it. Hopefully this show will have a sudden change in plot, but I highly doubt that will ever happen. I'm not saying to avoid this anime, I'm just telling you beforehand to not expect much from it, and keep your hopes down.

Where the hell do I begin? First off, I wasn't even hyping this anime to begin with, but Tumblr seemed to, so I saw it, and at first, I thought it was okay.

For the first two episodes at least.

Then it got repetitive. And repetitive. And repe- you get what I mean.

First of all, the protagonist is a horrible character. She's disgusting. That's all I'm seeing in her. Hell, I feel more ...

First of all, the protagonist is a horrible character. She's disgusting. That's all I'm seeing in her. Hell, I feel more sympathy towards her brother and only friend more than Tomoko (protagonist) herself.

Second, the humor is stale. It was okay the first couple of times, but not anymore. It's boring, it's repetitive, it predictable, it's everything I hate about comedies like this.

The animation is meh, but it's really nothing.

The only thing that's good about this show is the opening theme song, and even then you can watch that on YouTube, so really, there's no point in watching this anime.

So, what I'm trying to say is that Watamote is repetitive, boring, and stale. That's pretty much all I'm going to say on this anime.

One of the very few times I have just closed the window in which i was viewing an anime/movie/show/what-have-you. I could see some possibly comical bits here and there, but the majority of it for me is just too painful, repetitive, boring, and frustrating to watch. Most of the time I would prefer to just spend 20 minutes watching a montage of whatever her brother does since it feels like his life ...

One of the very few times I have just closed the window in which i was viewing an anime/movie/show/what-have-you.

Most of the time I would prefer to just spend 20 minutes watching a montage of whatever her brother does since it feels like his life as a slice of life would be atleast palatable. Just sort of a mediocre anime overall that's pretty over-rated.

then this anime is for you its about a girl who isn't popular and is trying to be popular in high school but she tries so hard at it and still fails to be popular and she goes through a quite of bit embarrassing awkward sad and funny moments and the opening song is very good in my opinion
